Shoutout to Dan for always being up for my wild ideas. He’ll also be a sort-of Trends Editor for Crunchyroll News, which I’m so excited for.

Happy to announce that today I begin a new position as Crunchyroll's Multimedia Writer!

What does this mean? Along with continuing to write features and develop new editorial formats, I'll be working on audio/video projects, including podcast work, essays and documentaries, and home video content.

Six of eight episodes done on Dispatch. Really, really love the writing. It does a great job at differentiating itself from other “adult” superhero stuff out there.
